"'Our bodies deserve more than to be war-torn and collateral' - Mary Lambert

It’s not easy for me to write a love letter to my body, sometimes I look at it and cannot find any.

I have been taught for so long to hate it’s obvious flaws, but today I love what my body has brought me through. The miles it has cycled, the pain it has taken, the way it has danced.

I love that my legs are solid - they have carried me through both triumph and grief.

I can not attest to always loving this body. But I will always try to."
